and uh it's a it's a song he wrote entitled grandeur
and uh payload if you'd like to come on up and introduce your work
this song is called granger and
at first it was a different song but the meaning was cringy so i changed it because it was about other stuff anyways um so i just decided to write about god and how
i guess the relationship i'm having with gaga at this moment and the relationship i want to have with my fellow brethren and sisters
and yeah so it's called grandeur
okay

this evening i think we can handle this
in the next five minutes
we are going to learn uh
the the voice parts for this beautiful very short
very short hymn if you see this slide if you go next
this is the whole song and it repeats
so
what i would ask is if
jeremy or ben if you wouldn't mind playing it through
just so we can sort of get the gist and it's one that i i suggest will likely be familiar to some of you um
so the whole thing yeah just just the whole
[Music]
beautiful so it is a short a short song and so what i'd like to ask is if uh the women with relatively higher voices the sopranos uh women with high voices if if you would sing along matt if you would play the uh soprano line just alone so so we're going to sing this and and i want i want us to sing along and to get this melody in our heads
well we'll just do one at a time
jesus remember me [Music]

[Music]
jesus [Music]
we've just sung a
a prayer
it's
it's what the robber the thief next to jesus said jesus remember me when you come into your kingdom
and i think that's a prayer we we think almost every day
is that jesus will remember us when he comes into his kingdom
and jesus is coming
that kingdom
is coming soon
and so our next song this evening is is one that
is one of hope
that we sing for the time when jesus does come
when he comes to set up
the kingdom his throne forever
and so it's hymn number 274.
christ the king is coming to set up his throne
royal son of david to the world unknown he with might and power will return again

the next uh song we'll be doing tonight our next name will be taken from the green hymn book hymn number 132
to god be the glory great things he has done

[Music]
songs
oh
[Music]
so we've reached our our second and last our penultimate song of the evening and it's praise number 250
it's called quiet my mind lord
and it's a truly it's it's a beautiful
beautiful beautiful hymn lyrically and and musically
and
the words part of the words are taken from hebrews
chapter 12.
hebrews 12 and verse 12 reads therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees and make straight paths for your feet so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed
and so the writer to the hebrews calls us challenges us to lift our drooping hands in our weak feeble knees
and yet there are times in our lives when when this is a tough calling
when we feel weak and
and helpless to raise up our hands and to strengthen our knees and so this this song is a prayer
to god that he will give us the strength that he will help us help to raise up our hands
that hang down and to strengthen our feeble knees
and so we're going to sing this
if you are reading out of
the praise of the lord hymnbook we're actually going to be singing it through twice and so the words are going to be projected up on the screen
in the correct order
and so
for our last second or last
song this evening i do ask that we
treat this as a prayer you know that we meditate on these words and and reflect on
on the meaning and the impact that a prayer like this has in our lives
so praise number 250
yes
[Music]
so
[Music]
is
[Music]
so

and it's him number 406
abide with me
fast falls the eventide
the darkness deepens lord

when other helpers fail and comforts flee
help of the helpless o abide with me
in 406.
